What We Believe

    what we believe

    1. ABOUT GOD
    God is the Creator and Ruler of the universe. He has eternally existed in three personalities: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. These three are co-equal and are one God.
    Genesis 1:1,26,27, 3:22; Psalm 90:2; Matthew 28:19; 1 Peter 1:2; 2 Corinthians 13:14
    2. ABOUT JESUS CHRIST
    Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He is co-equal with the Father. Jesus lived a sinless human life and offered Himself as  the perfect sacrifice for the sins of all people by dying on a cross. He arose from the dead after three days to  demonstrate His power over sin and death. He ascended to Heaven’s glory and will return again someday to earth to  reign as King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.
     
    Matthew 1:22, 23; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-5; 14:10-30;
    Hebrews 4:14,15; 1 Corinthians 15:3,4; Romans 1:3,4;
    Acts 1:9-11; 1 Timothy 6:14,15; Titus 2:13
    3. ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
    The Holy Spirit is co-equal with the Father and the Son of God. He is present in the world to make men aware of their  need for Jesus Christ. He also lives in every Christian from the moment of salvation. He provides the Christian with  power for living, understanding of spiritual truth, and guidance in doing what is right. He give every believer a spiritual gift when they are saved. As Christians, we seek to live under His control daily.
    2 Corinthians 3:17; John 16:7-13, 14:16,17; Acts 1:8;
    1 Corinthians 2:12, 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:25; Ephesians 5:18
    4. ABOUT THE BIBLE
    The Bible is God’s Word to us. It was written by human authors, under the supernatural guidance of the Holy Spirit. It is the supreme source of truth for Christian beliefs and living. Because it is inspired by God, it is the truth without any mixture of error.
    2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Timothy 1:13;
    Psalm 119:105,160, 12:6; Proverbs 30:5
    5. ABOUT HUMAN BEINGS
    People are made in the spiritual image of God, to be like Him in character. People are the supreme object of God’s  creation. Although every person has tremendous potential for good, all of us are marred by an attitude of disobedience toward God called “sin”. This attitude separates people from God and causes many problems in life.
     
    Genesis 1:27; Psalm 8:3-6; Isaiah 53:6a; Romans 3:23; Isaiah 59:1, 2
    6. ABOUT SALVATION
    Salvation is God’s free gift to us. We can never make up for our sin by self-improvement or good works. Only by  trusting in Jesus Christ as God’s offer of forgiveness can anyone be saved from sin’s penalty. Eternal life becomes our  life, past, present and future.
     
    Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8,9; John 14:6, 1:12; Titus 3:5; Galatians 3:26; Romans 5:1
    7. ABOUT ETERNAL SECURITY
    Because God gives us eternal life through Jesus Christ, the true believer is secure in that salvation for eternity. If you  have been born again, you cannot “lose” it. Salvation is maintained by the grace and power of God, not by the self-effort of the Christian. It is the grace and keeping power of God that gives us this security.
     
    John 10:29; 2 Timothy 1:12; Hebrews 7:25, 10:10,14; 1 Peter 1:3-5
    8. ABOUT ETERNITY
    People were created to exist forever. We will either exist eternally separated from God by sin, or eternally with God  through forgiveness and salvation. To be eternally separated from God is Hell. To be eternally in union with Him is  eternal life. Heaven and Hell are real places of eternal existence.
     
    John 3:16; John 14:17; Romans 6:23; Romans 8:17-18; Revelation 20:15; 1 Cor. 2:7-9
